A quick heads up for our LG G4 owning friends in Canada that a Marshmallow flavored update looks to be pushing out now. Reported by GSM Arena, Rogers and Telus customers are starting to see an update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow arriving on their devices. Currently no information on when Bell will start rolling out the update, but we guess Bell won’t be too far behind it.

You can check for yourselves whether or not your G4 is ready by heading into Settings>About Phone>Software Update or by jumping into the Update Center app in your app drawer if you have it. Marshmallow for the G4 adds a number of improvements. Enjoy!

The LG K4 and LG K10 are the devices being talked about here, and both are being offered to folks in Europe and CIS as early as this week. LG also confirmed they’d be making their way to Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia in the weeks to come.

LG’s content with calling these “premium” devices with “smart” price tags, and aside from paltry display resolutions they might not be far off the mark. Here are the specs sheets for both if you’re wondering what a light wallet will be able to get you:

http://www.lg-phones.org/new-lg-k4-unveiled-runs-android-lollipop.html#respondTue, 26 Jan 2016 14:36:53 +0000http://www.lg-phones.org/?p=16058At Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this month, LG has unveiled two new handsets in the K-series, the K7 and the K7. And now it looks like LG has a new handset that’s included in the K series. Called LG K4, the smartphone has been listed on LG’s Russia website.

The new LG K4 will run Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box. That aside, its features seemingly include a 4.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 480 x 854, a MediaTek MT6735M SoC, a 5MP rear camera and a 2MP front shooter, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, dual-SIM functionality and 4G LTE support and a 1,940mAh battery. It measures 131.9 x 66.7 x 8.9mm and weighs 120g.

No mention of the official release date and price. This model will likely stay in Russia, there’s no word on an international version.

The new update carries a software version VS98546A, and comes with a build number of MRA58K. It could take a few days before your G3 actually prompts you when an update is ready, you can always manually check for an update on your LG G3 by jumping into your Settings > General > System Updates > Update LG software. Because, who wants to wait?

Once rebooted, you’ll now be enjoying the latest version of Android currently available and the peace of mind in knowing you’re part of the cool kids club. At least for now. Anyone grab the update yet? How’s it running so far on your G3?
